After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Wizards 107-104. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
